What were Muybridge's contributions to motion pictures? What breakthroughs did he make? Why are they significant? What part of the story did you find the most interesting? Why?
Muybridge is known for his iconic sequential photographs, opening the door to photography about time and motion. He used his zoopraxiscope to shoot unusual subjects in an unusual way that may raise eye brows today. However, this contributed to the closing of the gap between science and art. His sequential photos answered scientific studies that were not able to be answered without precise details from a photo. I found it most interesting that many scientists did not believe his sequential photos of a horse galloping. Because the breaking down of motion was such an uncommon technology, some believed the horses looked too strange to be true. Despite skeptics, his contribution to scientific studies was significant.
